Introducing the latest technology
from Tanita
The MC980 Multi Frequency
Segmental Body Composition
Monitor is the ultimate tool in
providing indepth information for
truly personalised consultations.
Tanita has incorporated the
very latest multi-frequency BIA
technology together with increased
data display and flexibility via in-built
Microsoft ® Windows ® software.
A full body composition analysis is
performed in less than 30 seconds.
The data is then analysed and
displayed on screen with full
guidance notes and can easily be
printed onto a consultation sheet
for further discussion. Goals for
weight and body fat can also be
set to increase motivation and
demonstrate progress of any weight
or fitness program. All the user
data can be stored and used for
detailed trend analysis using data
management software.
The MC980 has been awarded NAWI
and MDD Approval for use in medical
treatments and consultations.

Registered Users Can Access Previous Measurements
If the user has registered their profile, their body composition
analysis will be stored. A full history of each measurement can
be shown to highlight their progress helping maintain motivation
and understanding of how their body is changing over time.
Detailed Consultation Sheet
A full consultation sheet can then be printed on any Microsoft ®
Windows ® compatible printer for further discussion or future
reference. The printer can be connected directly to the MC980

Client Profile
The Tanita logo can be changed to any other logo to
reinforce the service consultation. Other details include
the personal data input and an ID number consisting
of a maximum of 16 alpha numeric digits.
Core Body Composition Details
This table and graph shows the core components of body
composition. The data is represented in kg and % formats
to provide a clear picture of their health and fitness
status. The Desirable Range indicates general healthy
ranges whereas the Target is pre-set to act as a motivator.
BMR / VFR / TBW ANALYSIS
The Basal Metabolic Rate shows the number of calories
required to keep the body functioning when at rest.
This is further supported by a chart showing the
effectiveness of burning calories. Visceral Fat is the
harmful fat in the abdominal area. The rating indicates
whether the level is within the healthy range. Measuring
levels of body water is especially important for patients,
the elderly, children and athletes.
Total Body Water shows the weight and % of water in the
body. This is further divided into extra cellular and intra
cellular water levels. The ECW/TBW ratio shows the
relationship between extra cellular water and total body
water. The optimal level is considered to be around 40%.
Physique Rating
Physique rating assesses muscle and body
fat rating into 9 body types. As activity levels
change over time the balance of body fat and
muscle will alter which will change the user’s
overall physique
Segmental Analysis
The segmental readings provide indepth
information for each arm, leg and the trunk
area. By comparing the results to average
readings shown with the blue and green shaded
areas, the user can instantly see how their
own fat and muscle levels compare.
Muscle Mass Balance
Shows the balance of muscle between the left
and right side of the body.
Leg Muscle Score
A score is given to the user's physical condition,
and plotted against average healthy values for
gender and age. The score is based on the user's
leg muscle mass divided by their body weight.
e.g. a healthy 20-25 year old should achieve
a score of 100.
Body Fat Distribution
The ratio of upper to lower body fat is calculated,
and plotted against average healthy values for
gender and age.
History
Shows the first, past and most current core
measurements. This information is also
plotted on easy-to-read graphs.
Reactance Resistance
and Phase Angle Readings
The Reactance Resistance table indicates
measurements for the impedance flow at each
of the 6 multi frequency signals. Phase Angle
is also shown. H-L = Hand – Leg, RL = Right Leg,
LL = Left Leg, RH = Right Hand, LH = Left Hand,
L-L = Leg to Leg
